ACEPHATE REASSESSMENT EPA
The following link is to the January 2011 EPA report on acephate and methamidophos. http://www.epa.govt.nz/Publications/ERMA200399-Application-Form.pdf

No submissions were made by the cymbidium industry on acephate (Orthene). The preliminary findings of the EPA report were that Orthene be withdrawn from the market as it was considered that the 80 metre clear zone that would be required around greenhouses and the 9 to 130 day re-entry periods would be untenable for commercial horticulture.
